According to Daryl McIntosh: “For a band that hangs its hat on consistency, Soul of a Woman adds to their reputation by combining Sharon’s powerhouse vocals, supreme songwriting, and masterful musicianship....Soul of a Woman helps end 2017 by reminding us of how and when we fell in love with music, by successfully combining elements of multiple genres for this newest addition to the blues continuum. This album is another triumph for a band that has amassed a respectable body of work and hopefully still has many more long players ahead of them.”
